Abstract

In this paper we discuss relational programming, i.e. a style of programming in which entire relations are manipulated rather than individual data. This analogous to functional programming [1], wherein entire functions are the values manipulated by the operators. We will see that relational programming subsumes functional programming because every function is also a relation. It is appropriate this point to discuss why we have chosen investigate relational programming.
